In addition, ethanol lobbyists are pushing the administration for fleet mandates on automakers, to require a higher percentage of flex fuel vehicles (FFVs ) capable of running on ethanol blends of up to 85% (E85).
Ethanol, the Fuel Only a Politician Could Love | RedState 2010
Ethanol is ethyl alcohol and is burned in American "flex-fuel" vehicles (FFVs ) in mixtures such as E85 (85% ethanol and 15% gasoline blend) and E70 (70% ethanol), and in regular car engines in smaller percentages (most California gas contains roughly 6%).

At the same time, increasing the production of flex fuel vehicles (FFVs ) would create even greater demand for renewable alternatives to gasoline and imported oil.
Bob Dinneen: Green Jobs and Biofuels 2009
Flexible-fuel vehicles FFVs offer consumers little advantage right now, because the high-alcohol fuels which they could employ are not generally available for purchase.

Were FFVs made the standard, however, the fuel they need would quickly be made available everywhere.
More Wood Chip Commentary, Arnold Kling | EconLog | Library of Economics and Liberty 2009
We should also pass an open-fuel standard for 95 percent of the new cars sold in the United States, allowing the construction of flex-fuel vehicles (FFVs ) that can run on a variety of fuels, including ethanol.

In 2003, Brazilian lawmakers mandated a transition to FFVs , with some tax incentives included to move things along.
More Wood Chip Commentary, Arnold Kling | EconLog | Library of Economics and Liberty 2009
In reality, very few FFVs use E85, because it is not available in most areas.
Higher ethanol blends are on federal agenda 2008
Therefore, most FFVs are large vehicles that get poor fuel economy even on gasoline, and worse fuel economy on E85.
